REGULAR SEASON TRAINING STARTS NOW!

Every Tuesday and Thursday, 5:15 to 6:15 pm, starting January 6, 2026

(see FAQs further below)

Arrows Youth Rugby is official.  With our own pitch, qualified and quality coaches, and our Club's established infrastructure and culture, we are excited to launch sides playing contact rugby in the U14, U12, and U10 age divisions this year, and we will pursue opportunities for touch rugby competition for U8.  (Age bands are based upon age at September 1.  Arrows Youth Rugby is available to Boys that are 6 to 13 years old as of September 1, 2025.)

The competitive season will consist of several single-day tournament events as well as some one-off friendly matches with local clubs to be scheduled based on availability.  At these ages our goal is to get the boys playing rugby and having fun.  Tournaments will begin in February.

Training/practices are how the boys learn the game, so they are important.  However, we know boys are involved in many activities throughout the year.  If you are concerned about conflicts and availability, consult with our coaches, but do not let that discourage having your boy give rugby a try.  For anything, feel free to email youth@arrowsrugby.com.

What you need to do to join:

• Register and pay fee with USA Rugby (this step is necessary to participate in any contact training, including open practices);
• Register and pay dues with Arrows Youth Rugby (this step will be necessary by January and to participate in matches).

Registration help and links are here on the YOUTH REGISTRATION page.

FOR PRACTICES IN FIRST TWO WEEK OF JANUARY, YOU CAN COME OUT WITHOUT PAYING CLUB DUES (but to participate in contact drills must complete and pay USA Rugby registration).

 

SOME FURTHER INFORMATION/FAQs:

1. When are practices?
   Practices/trainings will be every Tuesday and Thursday at 5:15 pm to 6:15 pm from January until early April (except for Spring Break weeks).  A little bit into the season, U8 players may only practice on Thursdays.
2. What equipment is needed?
   Players will need a mouthguard and cleats, and for practices, pocketless athletics shorts and a shirt.  You may choose for your player to wear a scrum cap if they wish.
3. I've seen emails and social media, but how does the Club communicate?
   Once players are registered with the Club, they will be invited to our TeamSnap groups and most communication, scheduling, etc., is done using the convenient TeamSnap app.
4. What does it cost?
   USA Rugby registration is $79.00.  Club Dues for the season are $200 for all ages except U8 Touch, which is $150.  For their dues, players will receive game shorts and socks and a warmup/training top.  Jerseys are kept by the Club and provided at matches.  There are not additional match or tournament fees.
5. When are matches/games?
   There are several one-day, Saturday tournaments which we can choose to attend at which teams will play 1-3 matches.  These are listed below on the Tournament Schedule.  We will also arrange for some one-off friendly matches as scheduling permits.  All are between February and early April.
6. What if we can't always be there for everything?
   That is fine.  We expect boys at this age are involved in several things.  We want a commitment to participation, but that does not mean there are never conflicts and 100% attendance is expected.  Communicate with the coaching staff, but we want your boy to participate and learn this great game.
